Description
A single tea bowl sits centered on a golden woven-mat surface against a deep crimson background whose visible wood grain runs in pale streaks. The bowl's exterior is covered in a repeating pattern of interlocking dark blue-black hexagons on a white ground, while its interior shows a plain grey glaze. The composition is still and frontal, with strong contrasts between the white-and-blue vessel, the dark red backdrop, and the warm ochre mat below.
